Abstract

Liver is a vital organ of human body performing a variety of functions. In addition, maintenance of antioxidant system is also considered important. Objective: To observe the impact of high volume and high intensity exercise on blood redox state and enzymatic function of the liver. It was a comparative cross-sectional study conducted from January 2017 to Jan 2018 at Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan Pakistan Methods: An observational study was conducted among twenty (40) voluntarily selected subjects. Measurement of both enzymatic functions of liver and blood redox state of the body were performed through liver functions tests (LFTS) and ferric reducing assay protocol (FRAP assay) by using blood samples collected from the subjects. Results: The collected data were analyzed through statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 25 by using different statistical tools such as Mean, Standard Deviation and T Score. Conclusions: Data analysis disclosed that high intensity exercise significantly affected the levels of ALT (t₃₈= -4.369, p <0.05), ALP (t₃₈= -.757, p >.05), AST (t₃₈= -2.246, p < .05) and FRAP (t₃₈=4.308, p<0.05).
